This module exploits a Perl injection vulnerability in the DjVu ANT parsing code of ExifTool versions 7.44 through 12.23 inclusive. The injection is used to execute a shell command using Perl backticks. The DjVu image can be embedded in a wrapper image using the HasselbladExif EXIF field.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/unix/fileformat/exiftool_djvu_ant_perl_injection
msf exploit(exiftool_djvu_ant_perl_injection) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(exiftool_djvu_ant_perl_injection) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(exiftool_djvu_ant_perl_injection) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(exiftool_djvu_ant_perl_injection) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
